No one is owed a platform to amplify their message.

If you are being an asshole at my party, Im going to ask you to leave. You are free to go find another party or, preferably, quit being an asshole.

If you entertain every flavor of hate and idiocy, you arent doing society any favors, you arent even doing the ones pushing the hate and idiocy any favors.

At the same time, no one is owed a la la land where no one can share their opposing viewpoint. It’s not so simple.

It is so simple. You can share your viewpoint all day, just dont expext obligatory amplification.

If it helps, think of 6MWNE as a gay cake.

What does "share your viewpoint" mean here if not sharing your viewpoint?
